The NEW Buckethead Thread

[toy-de-doy-de]

Buckethead Land is real???? I want to goooooooooooooooooooo

[delicious]

Does anyone have any idea where Buckethead is??
I hope he is writing new material, records a new cd and tours in SC soon.

[Evil_Magician]

I hope that the Bucket comes to Sweden some time.

Would love to see him live.

[Shaggy92]

Yeah but I was just wondering what he's doing now

[Minkaro]

Yeah but I was just wondering what he's doing now

He's released 3 albums recently, so he has been busy.

You can buy them at the above link (which is the only place they are available at, according to Wikipedia)

[Vantage]

Decoding the tomb of Bansheebot.

I'll buy that, I've seen extremely positive reviews about it. :)

[Mental-lica]

I think Buckethead is pretty overrated to be honest to you. I think that because his pure gems (Nottingham Lace, Whitewash) are overshadowed by Guitar Hero *****s who think that Jordan is the best song ever.

[Vantage]

A whole armada of people bag on him because of his appearance and his boost of popularity with Jordan.

And no, I don't think Big B is overrated. You could ask him to play something complex that would make your face melt and then ask him a nice slow song, he could play both.

[Evil_Magician]

Hey , could any one post a good tab for Jordan (GHII version).

I have only seen one good cover of it on yotube and i feel that i could do better .

[Mental-lica]

Already power tab for it.

[Vantage]

I'm gonna install my own red button on my Ibanez. >_>

Cobra Strike - The 13th Scroll

Buckethead's bass solo in it = :eek:

[Vantage]

i'd get either elephant man's alarm clock or giant robot.

i always thpught cuckoo clocks of hell was boring as ****
Cuckoo Clocks of Hell is one of Bucket's pure avant-garde albums. So it's not really the easiest album to get into.

I always loved that album. :D

[Vantage]

Different strokes for different folks.

Brain was just starting to use double bass drums during the recording process of this album though.

[luislivesay]

thats prob why i dont like the drums.

have you heard any of the delicreeps stuff?

some of that stuff is cool, like the song random killing

God. DAMN. Where is Buckethead?

Any news on a tour? I missed my chance on mars volta tickets, so I have to be on my game about these.

[_Tenacious_]

Im just damn loving Buckethead right now. Every oppurtunity i get - soothsayer is what i put on. I just love the solo, so elaborate. Especially i noticed he put lots of what he uses in this song into the Pepper's Ghost album.

[calebrocker]

hey, which is the better dvd?

young buckethead or secret recipe? I heard some stuff from both of them on youtube and they both look pretty good, but I heard secret recipe wasn't too good about navigation. and what about the sound quality and video quality on both videos? some of the ones on youtube were't too good, like the binge and grab video, and the interworld video from secret recipe. Is the quality much better on dvd? christmas is a few days away, and I want to buy myself one. Which one has the best songs and solos and stuff? I want something that I can watch a lot and not get bored with, you know? THanks.

[Godly Moose]

Two things. First thing, Buckethead playing Jordan solo finally I/we don't have to keep hearing about it. "LOL YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE JORDAN SOLOS. WHERE'S THE JORDAN SOLO'S GODLY MOOSE." This was yesterday at the James Brown Tribute Concert, well technically two days ago now that I'm posting past 12:00 AM my time. Anyways enough rambling here it is:

Is it just me who thinks Pepper's Ghost has three parts?

The first section is more rocky, then a melodic section, then finally you have the more experimental odd high pitched noises section.

I've personally been trying to get as much Buckethead as I can. Whenever I get money I buy something off Travis Dickerson's site. The last thing I brought was the Thanatopsis album Anatomize

I'm absolutely loving Pepper's Ghost, I read a review where it was talking about themes, sort of like you mentioned. Also said that the album was more "formed" and that the songs were more structured than some of his other releases. I'd have to agree with that.

[omarrodrigez]

IMO the Thanatopsis stuff is some of the best must ever conceived by human beings.

Although I don't think he'll ever come to Vancouver.

Hell, even Megadeth didn't.:sad:

[Amerikhastan]

I've downloaded a few songs, to see what he sounds like, this was a couple months ago. Just lately I've listened to them and have been enraptured by them. What would be a good album to start off with?

No, just Buckethead. But I'll check that out too.

[Vantage]

Oh damn, Bucket has loads of albums.

But, I think it's good to start on his slower and melodic stuff.(Although Soothsayer still kicks my butt)

Albums like:
Colma
Electric Tears
Population Override(Moderate shredding, great tunes)
Giant Robot

EDIT: Here's a little sample from Population Override

How long it take you to transcribe that?

A week. It's not really hard, to be quite honest. It's lengthy, but it's nothing technically hard or anything. Besides, it fun to play along the backing track as well. :)

I've never heard Soothsayer, so I can't compare it to that.

Remove all that stuff from his music, and he's the best guitarist ever.

[bikerboyjosh]

does anybody know exactly which type of Les pauls he has, i know he has a '59 & a '69, but are the customs, or standards or what?

also aside from the killswitch, he has anothe switch on his '59 Les paul, anyone know what it is?

[rocabilly]

His gibson is a custom it has 24 frets, I also read somewhere that the body is bigger than normal and that it wasnt gibson that modified it with the white hardware etc

It isnt another switch, he simply moved the pickup switch from the regular les paul spot and put it near the volume tone knobs.

[SynGates7X]

Soothsayer could go down as one of the greatest instrumentals in history.

[The Virtuoso]

Does anyone have that picture of Buckethead playing that ****ing huge chord shape in Whitewash? I think it was that song, all I know is that is one hard chord to play, maybe even impossible for some people, with one hand at least.

[Vantage]

Damn, couldn't find a picture, but I think I know that chord. Since I've tried that song.

On another note, I'm gonna try to tab Sail on Soothsayer. It's kinda Padmasana-esque. And I love both. :D

[DaFjory]

I'm interested in trying some Buckethead, but only if he has any real shreddy-type albums. I've given Population Override a listen, but can't seem to get into it (though Too Many Humans is a masterpiece). Does he have any all-instrumental, not-too-silly, shredfest/wankfest albums I could pick up? I just want speed, really.

[Vantage]

Cobra Strike - The 13th Scroll and I kind of consider Monsters and Robots a shred type album.

Cobra Strike is Buckethead's alternate name, again.

Just go for the jackson.
Seriously , it will only waste time if you do it on the ibanez first and then do it on the kelly ( i suppose it's your main guitar right now)

After i did it on my strato-copy to try it out , i felt that it was such a waste of time and just did it on my Jackson instantly.

Although I usually use my Ibanez for other tunings. But I'm a little scared of getting it messed up.

EDIT : Oh, my Kelly also only had a volume knob. :(

Does anybody know if any of the weird vocal parts found on some of the albums have been done by Buckethead himself (with or without effects)?

[one vision]

Hmm.. never listened to him. I heard a lot of my friends talking about him, what albums do you guys recommend that display a variety of his works?

[Vantage]

He has a variety of albums.

If you want his melodic and kind of slow-paced stuff check out Colma and Electric Tears.

Moderate shredding but still very melodic; Population Override.

And a lot of his albums are shred. But I strongly suggest you check out two of his songs:
Soothsayer
Nottingham Lace

So after reading 55 pages of this thread, is Buckethead's mask hard or flexible?
I was seeing how I could make a costume like his.

I also read somewhere here that KFC has changed their design on the buckets?
I don't ever go there and was wondering if this was true.
Thanks.

I don't think Buckethead's mask is flexible.

You can buy the masks they are just Michael Myers masks a la Halloween, and if I'm not mistaken they are mildly flexible. Their buckets have changed.

Anyone know of a retailer that has most of his albums in the UK?

Most albums seem to be sold out or with people selling them for almost £30 because of their availability.

[Minkaro]

If you want, you can download a lot of his stuff from the download store at Travis Dickerson's website.

(Just do a quick google search for Travis Dickerson Music, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to the site)

It's not that expensive. I just got two Thanatopsis albums for £8

[omarrodrigez]

Yeah, Travis Dickerson's site is the best place to get most of Buckethead's albums.

[azagthoth_lvr]

righto i heard lots of debates (forget where though) that his name isn't brian carroll i worship the guy and love his music but it pisses me off the i dont know his name any help

A lot of people either joke around or are dumba##es and say he is other people in disguise, such as Paul Gilbert or Randy Roads (SP?).

[sebastian_96]

I just recently got into his music by accidently stumbling upon Welcome to Bucketheadland or 'Park Theme' if you will.

I'm very ashamed to say that because of the rareness and price of Buckethead albums around here, I have downloaded some of his songs. Too Many Humans must be the most beautifuk solos I've heard.

Buckethead is truely a God among men.

Would it be wrong of me to ask if it is possible for anyone to send a Buckethead album to via RapidShare or Megaupload?

I went to HMV today to spend my vouchers and found the album I'd been looking to buy, Crime Slunk Scene, it was £20 but I went for it anyway.

I love the album, it really was worth it. The prices for a lot of his albums are ridiculous and this one seems to be even rarer than the others. I'm aware paying for a download would have been significantly cheaper but I just can't bring myself to pay for MP3 files and I am an obssessive CD collector.

I love the album, it really was worth it. The prices for a lot of his albums are ridiculous and this one seems to be even rarer than the others. I'm aware paying for a download would have been significantly cheaper but I just can't bring myself to pay for MP3 files and I am an obssessive CD collector.
At least your HMV had Buckethead albums.

[Lateralus17]

At least your HMV had Buckethead albums.

It was just the one to be fair, and it was the HMV in C London; a huge store.

[blackenedktulu]

Just got into Buckethead last week, I've been listening to him non-stop...

On Bucketheadland 2, who does the vocals on the songs "Taxidermy Tots" "Can You Help Me?" And "unemployment Blues"

I got a lot of his albums from my friend, which included a live recording of his show at the State Theater Falls, and I don't think the tracks are right. Anyone help?

I think there are some that are wrong. I haven't seen that for quite a while.

But if you want live bootlegs of Big B.

Who is it that does the vocals on the song 'Running From The Light' off of Enter the Chicken

[Minkaro]

Wikipedia says Gigi and Maura Davies did Running From The Light.

I personally like "Waiting Hare" from that album. (From the songs with vocals, otherwise Nottingham Lace would run away with it)

Agreed. There's so many of his songs that I want to try (and fail miserably) at playing.

Some of them don't actually sound that hard, but I'm awful at doing stuff by ear.

Beautiful song...

I love Jump Man (blast that **** with a sub-woofer bigger than my computer and that is what I call fun), Welcome to Bucketheadland, Binge and Grab, Sketches of Spain, pretty much the rest of Electric Tears, Dimebag Darrell Tribute......I like my Buckethead. :D

EDIT: I think either Monsters and Robots or Giant Robot are the best.....I also have Acoustic Shards and Electric tears so I have a good balance between heavy and soft...

[one vision]

Hmm. I just heard some of his stuff recently, my friend recommended his music. The image threw me off :p: but pretty awsome nonetheless. Probably one of the most unique styles I've ever heard. I love his Les Paul too, all that whiteness looks awsome.

[calebrocker]

ok..am I the only one not getting what the whole hype is about the new album?

it's really riffy and not too melodic, except for one or 2 songs. I don't get how people say it's different than any other album he did. It sounds a lot like pepper's ghost to me.

I was expecting maybe a mix of crime slunk scene, colma, maybe electric tears.

Which new album? :confused:

Decoding the Tombs of Bansheebot?

[hbtaj2000]

Bansheebot does sound a lot like Peppers' Ghost, but PG was a great album, therefore DtToB is a great album. My personal favs are tracks 1, 2, 4, 12 and 13. It shouldn't suprise anyone, they were both released in 2007, and probably recorded at the same time. If you think back to other albums that were released at around the same time, they sound similar to one another, too. Actually, what the hell am I talking about? Ignore my last statement. Anyway, I'm glad Bansheebot is what it is, because I got it the same day I got Cyborg Slunks and Kevin's Noodle House. I would have been one unhappy camper if Bansheebot sounded like them. I needed SOME music. - sd

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/b/buckethead/nottingham_lace_ver2_guitar_pro.htm

[one vision]

I just heard nottingham lace... :eek:
I think it blows Jordan out of the water. The Jordan intro is awsome, but the rest I dont like that much, but nottingham lace is AMAZING.

[hbtaj2000]

While it makes me feel like a bandwagon BH fan (which I definitely am NOT, I own 15 albums and growing), I think his best song is Jordan. I read a conversation he had with the main programmer of Guitar Hero 2, and it quotes Buckethead telling the programmer: "I think this is the best thing I have ever recorded in my entire life." He's talking about Jordan. So even HE thinks it's his best song! That is, if the conversation did in fact take place. Killswitch, single, double, triple, quadruple finger tapping, sweeps, and slap guitar. The friggin' song has it all. - sd

[TheShred201]

Jordan doesn't haveslap guitar....

[spleendor]

my personal favorites are:
- decoding the tomb of bansheebot
- the elephant man's alarm clock
- colma
- acoustic shards

i, being a mainly acoustic guitarist, personally like the acoustic shards album a lot. it's a nice change from his usually electric shredding, and instead more acoustic shredding.

and also, a tab for music box innards would be nice

[Minkaro]

i, being a mainly acoustic guitarist, personally like the acoustic shards album a lot. it's a nice change from his usually electric shredding, and instead more acoustic shredding.

Absolutely.

I've stated time and time again that I love the Buckethead that actually plays his instrument. Some of his albums appear to be just random noise, which is one of the only things that I dislike about him.

[Grand Wazoo]

I just heard nottingham lace... :eek:

He's done better. If you want to hear him REALLY excel, then listen to 'Padmasana' and 'Animal Behavior' (the latter was with Praxis.)

To the guy above me who enjoys Buckethead's acoustic stuff, he did an all-acoustic album with Jonas Hellborg and Mike Shrieve entitled 'Octave of the Holy Innocents'. It's probably worth getting, although I don't have it (yet.)

[hbtaj2000]

It doesn't, huh? What do you call the part right before the last verse? The part that goes buck-a-da-buck-a-da-buck-a-da...etc. - sd
Jordan doesn't haveslap guitar....

[TheShred201]

The Bridge? He plays that riff but with a bigger string gap in a guitar one lesson--no slapping involved.

[TheShred201]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=yaCErlW-3p8

Look at 2:14...I rest my case.

[Amerikhastan]

It doesn't, huh? What do you call the part right before the last verse? The part that goes buck-a-da-buck-a-da-buck-a-da...etc. - sd
The bridge right before the outro? Thats a synth filter effect, which sounds nothing like guitar slap.

EDIT: To TheShred20 above me, I see how he does that now.

[TheShred201]

Technically He's hybrid picking it....top note is plucked with the right middle finger, second is hammered on by the left hand, third is picked--then repeat.

That's all in Guitar One's lesson.

[hbtaj2000]

Yeah, that pluck word you use is exactly what I was trying to say, but I didn't know the terminology. I figured "slap" was close enough. I actually had that same exact segment of that video in mind when I wrote that post. I knew it wasn't regualr picking, but the video was too fuzzy for me to see any detail in his right hand. I used "slap" to describe it because I knew that people would be able to realize what part of the song I was talking about. I don't know the terminology for all of that stuff yet. Patience, people. - sd

Electric tears is a chilled out album. tons of cool relaxing songs. I put this on at night to chill and relax whenever I'm having trouble sleeping, tis fanstastic also for just relaxing after stressful times. I cannot recommend this enough although it's not what you're looking for.

Monsters & robots is one of my faves. It's probably more what you're looking for as opposed to electric tears and I'd probably recommend this one just as highly. It's an album of cool riffs and amazing guitar work.

I'm no buckethead expert though, so wait for some others to post before ordering.

[TheShred201]

^Thanks for the help--I'm planning on getting all of them (I have quite diverse musical taste--relaxed stuff is good too. I just feel like getting some more challenging stuff to work on tabbing/learning.

[Vantage]

Population is kinda like a funky shredding album, like moderated shredding.

Monsters and Robots is probably one of Big B's shred masterpieces, check it out if you want.

Electric Tears is kinda like a more progressive Colma, minus the drums and bass. Lengthier songs as well.

Bucketheadland 2 is kinda like Bucketheadland as well, full of random stuff, I still find it pretty cool though.

Kaleidoscalp has these demented sounds, but the riffs are great though.

[TheShred201]

Thanks for the info. I think I'll probably get Monsters and Robots next month.

[Merkage]

Check out Soothsayer.

Solo battle!

Soothsayer is my favourite definitely.

I'm really into Whitewash as well, next album of his I'm going to get is Colma.

Hey sorry if this has been posted, but does anyone have the scores/tabs for the second demo in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=yaCErlW-3p8

It's the lesson thing, and the part where he does those.. i think they're augemented intervalic arpeggios or something on acoustic guitar..

thanks alot.

[hbtaj2000]

I think that Crime Slunk Scene is my favorite BH album. It actually may be the Most shreddiest album, too. Island of lost minds is pretty tough, too. - sd

I really like Bucketheads earlier stuff, but to my ears, theres nothing better than the stuff he's putting out now.
The albums Pepper's Ghost, The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock, Crime Slunk Scene and Inbred Mountain SLAY all the others, except for the chill/acoustic albums like Colma, Population Override and Electric Tears, which, IMO, are all equal in greatness.

What the hardest Buckethead song to play?

[Lemoninfluence]

What the hardest Buckethead song to play?
the one you don't know.

but seriously, it's one of those questions that doesn't have a definitive answer. Some people find some stuff harder than others and seeing as though buckethead has used about every guitar technique known to man over his huge discography I'm sure there are songs that some people would find quite easy whereas someone else would find them almost impossible.

[petrucci_owns86]

I would say Soothsayer.

But the guy above me has a really good point.

[Minkaro]

There seems to be quite a bit of new Buckethead stuff coming. Including "From The Coop," which appears to be a similiar sort of thing to "Acoustic Shards."

And he has a new album with Viggo Mortenson, according to Wikipedia. (Although admittedly whoever's added that in seems a bit dim. "Buckethead collaborate with Viggo Mortensen in his new album At All."

Most bands have an album every few years, lol. Does Bucket live in the studio, or something?

[Vantage]

A studio full of chickens!

[Minkaro]

I know you're joking and all but the scary thing is: knowing him, that could actually be the case.

[BladeSlinger]

I recommend the album Enter the Chicken by Buckethead & Friends because it is AMAZING! One of my friends let me borrow it a while back to upload and it showcases all of Bucket's versatility with really soft songs, fast heavy songs and an instrumental.....My favorites are Running From the Light, Waiting Hare, Coma and of course Nottingham Lace...

^ Nothing gets past you.

And my copy of Bucketheadland Blueprints enrages me. It's a 36 track version of it, whilst Wikipedia states that there's 23 or 57 track versions. It's also barely tagged, so when I got it it said "track one" etc.

I've renamed them to "blueprint one - blue print 36" but that doesn't really help. Obviously I can name some of the songs going by the narration, or them being easily recognisable (a pirates life for me, or the park theme) but I'm very particular about having all my songs nicely tagged.

That's what I get for being illegal I suppose :sad:

If this is the only album featuring Buckethead that you've heard, you're missing out, honestly. This album is only okay compared to his stuff like Pepper's Ghost and Crime Slunk Scene. I would also recommend Colma, for a new listener to Buckethead. All three of those albums are must-have instrumental albums.

No idea when, but if he does you need to get front row tickets for a present. I stood about 20 feet away from Bucket at the show last week, but he couldn't throw one to me. I know he wanted to though, cause it appeared that he looked right at me while he was giving them out. :sad:

Would anyone care to recommend me a Buckethead song to learn? I've heard he's got some really nice mellow stuff, and I'd prefer a song like that rather than shred/metal. Thanks.

[calebrocker]

for mom, ghost, whitewash, anything off colma really. the thing is though, most of his songs have 2 guitar parts. anything off of electric tears, and some stuff from population override.

[breakstuff]

How the hell didn't you mention Soothsayer? Its ****ing amazing its what got me into Buckethead, actually Its the only piece I heard, can you nominate some of his best work to me?

[BladeSlinger]

I'm going to see ****ing Buckethead on June 7th mother****ers!.....God I am excited! It's going to be so insane watching him shred in real life!


breakstuff: Sketches of Spain (For Miles), Electric Tears, I Love My Parents, For Mom, Nottingham Lace, Jump Man, Want Some Slaw?, Binge and Grab [Instrumental] and Dimebag Darrell Tribute are all amazing Buckethead songs..

[TheShred201]

^Psht. I'm going to see him on March 19th!

That's ok, I have a few shows I'm going to before Bucket. :p: (Dimmu Borgir, Taste of Chaos)

[TheShred201]

I have a few after: Taste Of Chaos, Dark Tranquility & Arch Enemy, Meshuggah, possibly Seether...

I wish Arch Enemy would come around here....wouldn't mind seeing Seether either, I really like a lot of their stuff....Buckethead has got me really excited though...

[TheShred201]

I've seen Seether before (in a concert headlined by Audioslave). They sounded good, but they weren't very energetic or interesting. They hardly even talked to the crowd and they just stood their and played. Based on that concert, I'd rather see 30 seconds to mars or Audioslave again more than seether, though seether are still cool.

Back on a Buckethead note: So I got Electric Tears yesterday. Its quite relaxed and is a great album. I'll be working on making some guitar pro tabs for it, as the only complete GP tabs I've seen are for the song Electric Tears. Overall, the stuff on the album is pretty easy to tab, but the songs are long, and Buckethead stuff (working on Enter The Chicken stuff too) is my second priority. I work on it when I don't feel like working on The Butcher by Rusty Cooley anymore. If anyone wants to help me tab, or wants one song to get tabbed faster than the rest, let me know.

[hbtaj2000]

I tabbed out the solos in Jordan, from the break right up to the bridge, but I haven't put them on the computer yet. I still use that analog thing, a notebook, to write information. Is there anyone on here who wants to see the TAB, but who is actually capable of playing them? Cuz if there's a demand for it, i'll put a rush on it. - sd

[TheShred201]

Sorry man, but there are a LOT of tabs for that song already. Never hurts to submit it and see if it gets accepted though

[hbtaj2000]

Wow! I never even looked to check if there were any of those tabs online. I can't beleve there are that many. Thanks for the heads up to not waste any more of my valuable time. Ha. - sd

Hahaha! Has anyone here heard the Guitar Pro's RSE version of Jordan? It's hilarious!!! Hahahah! I can credit The_Shred01 for this new version. Thanks again! - sd

[hbtaj2000]

And, while I'm on the topic of asking questions, does anyone know which of the many versions of "Big Sur Moon" that are floating around out there is the correct one? I've seen a big difference in the way that some of them are written, and they all sound like the song, but I'd feel better knowing how HE plays it, So I can play it exactly like he does (In 10 years). Any help or guidance is key. The_Shred, I'm looking in your direction. - sd

[TheShred201]

i'll do some research for you and let you know.

Edit: For now, check out/learn "The Echo Song" by Paul Gilbert. If you like Big Sur Moon, you will probably like the echo song.

[sprandel]

I just got a reprod copy of ISOT in the mail today, does he do all the drums himself and loop them, are they band members, generic loops?

[lobster624]

speaking of big sur moon, what song is buckethead playing at the beginning of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTpDvhN-JXs) video? it sounds very familiar.

Haha, thanks. I like the version that PG plays on the DVD better than the album version. I like the "just the guitar and echo" without the drums. And sprandel, if you're talking about "In search of the...", Brain does the drums. - sd

Hey dude.
That's the awesome Giant Robot theme song. A classic Japanese cartoon.
Bucket originaly recorded it on Giant Robot NTT i think and then re-released it on Bucketheadland.

[hbtaj2000]

Giant Robot isn't a fav of mine, except for Last train... I love that song. It makes me feel like a kid again. Thats the song that I'm planning to listen to on the drive home from Key west in a convertible, when I'll be on the 7 mile Key West bridge. Memories that will last forever. I can't wait. - sd

[Vantage]

I'll be playing Welcome to Bucketheadland for a school program next month!:headbang:

Last Train's the one that's the repeated riff, with the guide of the theme park talking over the top of it, isn't it?

It sounds really basic, but it's the kind of song that makes you think. Not about anything in particular, but you do think. It's nice.

[wil]

Holy cow another person from Aberystwyth???---I graduated 2006---I never thought anyone there would know who Buckethead was=Im guessing its still full of people who study Interpol by day and pretend to be punks at night?

My brother has just given me 7 Buckethead albums because ''its not his kind of thing''=thats my listening sorted for the next 2 weeks or so. :)

[Minkaro]

Well, I go to Uni here.

I'm from Shrewsbury originally though.

I know two interpol guys, one's a metalhead, and the other's a bit of a goodygoody. Nice though.

[Evil_Magician]

Yep .it's just "Giant Robot theme"
It's track 3 on the album "Bucketheadland"

It's track 2 on Giant Robot NTT and goes by the name "Giant Robot"

Im from Bewdley and as much as I loved Aber, the music scene sucked badly. Do they still have the Welsh dragon guitar in Ceredigion music? They never shifted that thing in the 3 years I was there. :p:

[Minkaro]

I only went in there once, never saw that guitar in there.

All I've seen of the music scene here is the angry acoustic punker who lives opposite me :p:
